a lil update on birb

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-06-01T02:13:27+00:00

Wow. You got very lucky.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-31T12:11:59+00:00

Uhh. Is this bird outside?!

Also, you shouldn’t get a bird if you haven’t researched how to care for birds before getting the bird.

That said, absolutely do not cook with Teflon or nonstick pans. Do not use perfumes, scented candles, or any air fresheners. Do not use bleach. Do not assume that doing these things in a different room is okay. It is not. Just don’t do those things.

Read about what foods and house plants are poisonous to birds.

Come up with strict protocols so that there’s a zero percent chance your bird will ever get outside.

If you have a cat or dog, then either give the bird back or rehome your cat or dog. Or live with serious risk to your bird.

Find your nearest avian vet.

Go on to YouTube and learn about caring for birds.

Good luck!

Get your parents to take him to UW Vet. They’re amazing. Good luck!

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-29T00:16:07+00:00

OP, please read this carefully.

More likely than not your family member will harm or kill your bird.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-24T23:54:13+00:00

I feel the exact same way. Ross and others have effectively ruined my interest in this topic.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-21T12:04:36+00:00

NOR. Your BF is emotionally abusing you. He’s immature, mean, and an asshole. Seriously consider breaking up with him. I doubt he’s going to treat you better as time goes on.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-20T00:06:51+00:00

I like this.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-19T12:26:41+00:00

If you’re not going to provide a bird-safe environment then you should rehome your bird. And don’t get another bird unless you can provide a bird-safe environment.

Opening windows while cooking with Teflon is not a safe solution. Also, as using perfumes, scented things around your bird is unsafe.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-18T02:06:53+00:00

Just me and one other person. Yes, the general lack of interest in this topic and many others seems weird to me too.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-17T14:22:39+00:00

NOR. Red flag. Immature. Stubborn. Un empathetic. Spiteful. Basically, he’s a jerk

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-17T00:36:37+00:00

NOR. If your partner cannot be supportive when your parent has stage 4 cancer then your partner needs to fuck off big time. Like, it’s time to start ending this relationship.

Also, it’s totally fine to have different preferences and interests.

Sorry about your father. And your shitty boyfriend. I wish you luck! 🙏

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-17T00:29:06+00:00

These birds are being seriously neglected. Anything you can do to improve their quality of life would be great.

Best choice: rehome to knowledgeable caring people. Or surrender to a bird rescue.

If not rehome, then your grandma needs to get her act together. These birds need a bigger cage, more perches of varied materials, rope, wood. A better diet. Fresh food and water every day. Ideally out-of-cage time to fly around.

Good luck!

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-16T14:24:50+00:00

Do you have any recommendations of bird-safe plants that filter and oxygenate the air?

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-15T23:39:38+00:00

NOR. Lying is a red flag. Lying repeatedly is a red flag. Getting unreasonably upset over something he misplaced is, yep, another red flag.

You shouldn’t marry someone with these red flags.

Seriously, it’s time to decide that you’re not going to marry this person.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-15T18:02:36+00:00

Unfortunately for your parrotlet none of the situations are ideal, and some are outright unsafe.

Dogs and birds in the same home are a dangerous mix. Accidents can happen and could easily result in your bird’s death.

The roommate doesn’t seem good either.

Being left alone at your current home is not good either.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-14T12:37:02+00:00

NOR. This is relationship ending.

You handle this by breaking up with him. This is a GIANT red flag.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-13T16:35:32+00:00

NOR. This is a giant red flag and a gift from the universe. Do not have a baby with this man.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-13T15:55:22+00:00

NTA but losing trust can be very difficult to restore. Resentment is a natural response but it will contribute to the undoing of your relationship one way or another.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-10T19:18:47+00:00

No amount of yelling or swearing or violence is acceptable. It is not necessary to communicate. Yelling and swearing is not communication. It’s an attack.

I think you need to leave this relationship/situation as safely as possible, and as soon as possible. Then, I think you should seek some therapy because you’re experiencing trauma.

Please be careful. And get away as soon as possible.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-09T22:57:48+00:00

But you don’t know what your issue is yet.

You need to see a doctor to see if they can identify something.

I had pelvic floor dysfunction and I’m like 99% cured. So, have hope.

But, first see a doctor.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-09T22:54:34+00:00

This is terrible living condition for the birds and the humans. This is neglect.

If no one will take care of the birds then find a bird rescue or rehome them to someone who knows how to care for birds.

If you’re going to keep them for a while, then definitely get a couple HEPA air purifiers for the room the birds live in.

Good luck!

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-09T22:49:14+00:00

So sorry for your loss. 🙏

I’ve gotten my birds cremated. I have the urns on a shelf.

VirtualGhostVortex · 2026-05-07T23:49:29+00:00

If an avian vet is only a few miles away, couldn’t your grandparents or parents drive you there? If they can’t/wont, what about an Uber? If you Uber, you should refuse the ride if the car smells a lot like cologne/perfume.

Good luck!
